Chapter 4: Presentation
Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally
high quality product. This operator's manual describes
Husqvarna PT 26D.
It is fitted with a Perkins 3 cylinder diesel engine
developing 26 horse power.
PT 26D is equipped with hydraulic steering and
attachment lift. They are supplied with pressure from a
pump on the engine.
PT 26D
The machine is all wheel drive in low speed mode.
The power transmission from the engine is hydrostatic.
It is supplied with pressure by a pump under the
driver's seat. A shaft with two flexible couplings powers
the pump. Flow and direction are regulated with the
pedals, so that forward and reversing speeds are
variably controlled. One pedal to drive forwards (1) and
one pedal to reverse (2). The pump drives four
hydraulic motors in parallel, one for each wheel.
The power transmission is also used as service brake.
There are low and high speeds for driving. High or low
speed is selected using a switch.
Speed control
The machine is equipped with an electro-hydraulic
differential lock, which is controlled by a pedal. The
differential lock only works longitudinally, which means
that you can turn the machine with the differential lock
activated.
The differential lock does not work in high speed.
Rear light, horn, direction indicators and rotating
warning lights are optional equipment (traffic kit).
Differential lock pedal
The cutting unit takes power from the engine by means
of an electromagnetic clutch, two V-belts, apower take-
off shaft, a propeller shaft and a bevel gear.
